Blessed - 1

Reality is not what you see or what you think. Reality is something that you believe you saw.

A girl was sleeping In the cabin of a trian. She was so tired, She didn't even move from the position she sit. She was alone in the cabin and felt like someone or something was watching her. In the dark there was an unclear image of two purple glowing eyes. It's watching her closely. Then slowly a wind appeared. It was more like a white smoke . And it erased the eyes like the waves of the ocean...!

Hima woke up with a shock. The sound was verry loud. Then she was relieved by realising it's just another train passing in the opposite direction. She don't even remember when she fall asleep.

The train was moving slowly. She was kept looking in the watch. The time runs faster than usual. Her heart beats more faster so she can't even breath properly.

She's already late. The train was late for almost three hours. There was an accident which couse the train to run late. Yet her train moved slowly. In the truth train was moving fast but because of her fear she felt its going slow. She's working in a company far from home. She stayed on her aunts house and only came back to her parents one's every month. She was their only child. Her family had to pay a lot of debts so she had no choice but go to this job which she don't even like.

The cat was walking. It was coloured in black and white. It came near her and said

"myeaw ......." She smiled at it and it just walked away . I've seen this cat around my house. I wonder what he is doing in this train. Well it might be some other cat. And cat's are lucky they don't need tickets to travel in train. Well speaking of tickets. The ticket checker is not yet to be seen. Did he fall asleep in any cabin... ? Who knows..... Well it's irritating to wait for him. She started to think about her home.

Her mother called her in the evening and said that her father is sick and its serious, so she had to come back home and take him to the hospital. She normally brings clothes and other things to clean up, but this time she was in a hurry and had no time to waste on packing. She simply took the bag and the cloths in it were the same cleaned clothes she bring from home. She barrowd some money from a friend so she can take her father to hospital.

While she was on the train mother called her and said her that the father is alright. And some neighbour helped them. That neighbour had visiters and one of them was a doctor. He checked her father and give priscription for the medicine. And because they didn't had any money, the neighbour himself buy that medicine for them. He said pay it back later when you have money, don't worry.

She was relieved . But she decided to see father anyways. And now she feels like it was a wrong decision because its too late. After mom called the phone turned off because it had low battery. She even forgot the charger in the hurry and there is no one in the train to ask to borrow a mobile charger from them. She was supposed to get the station by eight and its already ten . she hoped that she'll get to the station by eleven . And if there is no taxy or something then its one and half hours walk to get home not to mention crossing the graveyard.

People saw things over there. But that's just like always. Every graveyard have a horror story to scare people away. In truth even i saw something over there. But its just my imagination. Thinking about it makes me scared She was thinking a lot. Then she thought, why am i always overthinking. There is no such things as ghosts.

Suddenly it happened.

Something Just appeared on her cabin. a black shadow looking thing . It was moving colser to her. She was repeating in her mind that there is no such thing as ghosts. But it was moving straight for her. It came so close that she felt it's smell like dead body. She was so scared and closed her eyes. She heard a loud sound. After a moment she opened her eyes. Another train was passing by the opposite direction. And there was nothing more, there was no ghost. it was just a dream. She's so relieved. She almost laughed, of thinking how much fool she is. To think she got scared by her own over thinking. What a relief she exaled heavily. Then relaxed down.

At that time she heard a sound, even in the moving train's sound it was a scream. Then she really saw its mooving. A dark shadow is coming right at her. She was trying so hard not to cry out loud. She closed her eyes for some seconds and opened it. But this time it's still coming right at her. She lost all her control. Yet she was forcing her not to cry.

Ghosts are not real......Ghosts are not real......Ghosts are not real...... Said herself. That thing came closer. she hold her breath.

It really is dark and the shadow came beside her and it asked her. "Would you mind telling me the time dear".....? Hima was amazed. It was just an old grandma covering her face because its cold in the night. She said the time to granny and granny thanked her. The granny also gave her a fruit she was holding then walked away.

How silly me. To be feard of a grandma who's so nice to me. She started looking outside and thinking about her family.

Whenever she starts thinking about her family Rem's face always comes to her mind. Rem is a small orphan kid. He lives in the woods,or thats what he said. she knows him for 3 years yet, she always felt like he never grow up. At the first time i met him he said hes 10 years old after three years still he looks the same. He have the same name as the terrifying villain in the history of earth, which recreated by .....

Well i don't know who ever created all this.

My Rem said he named himself. Well he might have seen this name somewhere. He's just a little boy how could he understand that is the name of a demon. Well my Rem is a hero. Well atleast for me. But in truth no one else seen him. Whenever i try to show him to mother or father or my friends he always disappear like a ghost. Ones my friend Niya said to me that Rem is just my imaginary friend thats why no one else know about him. But i know he's real. He was the only person always there for me when ever I'm in trouble.

I do remember the first time we met. It was a rainy day. in the evening i was coming back from my school. With the rain there was a big storm. And because of the strong wind i fall down from the bridge into the river. Some people saw that yet no one was brave enough to jump into the strong current of water. I was drowned. Then suddenly i felt someone grab my hand. Before I lost my conscious i saw Rem's face.

And then when i wake up the rain was over. I was laying down on the grass field near the rever. There was a boy sitting beside me and he was holding my foot and rubbing it to make it warm. His face was looking at the sunset. When i opened my eyes, he didn't even looked at me and asked me -  do you know what my wish is..? One day i have to go to him. He said that by looking at the sun and then he looked at me.

" You're fine now . Someone saved you from the river and that guy told me to look after you until you woke up. I was just passing by this way. You are all okay... Right....?

How are you feeling.....? lets go home.... I'm Rem ...!"

Rem....! Why this kid have the name of a demon. Who names their children this way. She thought about it but didn't asked. He asked a lot of questions but never showed interest to listen to my answer.

I was sure he's the one who saved me. Yet he never wished to get the credit. He was a hero for me from that day on. After that he was here and there most time everywhere. He acted all weak and little around me. But i know he's strong in reality. How many times he helped me well i don't know. I lost count a long time ago. Hes always there when i need him. like a guardian angel. She looked all around her. Because most times he comes out of nowhere when ever she think about him.

He's not here but one thing is for sure, Just thinking about him is enough to help forgetting all the worrying and fears i have.

Well i have a packet of chocolate from the place i wisited last week with my friends. I remembered to take it with me so i can give him when i see him. It was a little too costly but, nothing is costly when it's for him.

Train was stopped on a station again for twenty minutes to other train to pass across that track.

At that time one sales man came near the out side cabin and asked her to buy some fruit. She looked at her hand its the same fruit granny gave her. So she thought she must refuse to buy. But that man asked politely,- " please atleast buy one its already night time i didn't get much sales today. She looked at that man. Hes Just as old and weak as her father. She buy one because her mind was not letting her to refuse him. That old man blessed her and move away.

Train moved finally. It will get my station in ten minutes . She put both fruits in the bag and she gets ready to get of train. She moved closer to the door and waited. Its moving slowly so she sit down on the near seat but without she even realised, she fell asleep very fast. When she opened her eyes the train was moving from her station. She had no other choice. She quickly get up and jumped off from the mooving train...!
